Autumn Songs and Rhymes:
Saw A Leaf
http://www.preschoolexpress.com/music_station07/fall-leaves-songs-rhymes-sep07.shtml
Tune: My Darling Clementine
Saw a leaf, Saw a leaf,
Saw a leaf falling down.
It was floating,
It was twirling,
As it spun and spun around.
Tried to catch it, tried to catch it
When it landed on the ground.
But it kept right on twirling
As it danced across the town.
Frisky Squirrel
http://www.preschooleducation.com/sfall.shtml
Tune: The Grand Old Duke of York
Oh, the frisky little squirrel
He gathers nuts and seeds.
He hides them for the winter months
So he’ll have all he needs.
Oh, up-up-up he goes
And down-down-down he comes.
He runs around – goes up and down.
His work is never done.
Five Little Leaves
Adapted from: http://www.everythingpreschool.com/themes/apples/songs.htm
Five little leaves hanging on a tree
The prettiest leaves you ever did see!
The wind came past and gave an angry frown
And one little leaf came tumbling down.

Autumn Leaves are Turning Colors

Tune: Mulberry Bush
Autumn leaves are turning colors,
Turning colors, turning colors,
Autumn leaves are turning colors
All day long.
Autumn leaves are falling,
Autumn leaves are dancing,
Dingle Dangle Scarecrow
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnGBx9ydWcQ
When all the cows were sleeping
And the sun has gone to bed
Up jumped a scarecrow
And this is what he said.
I’m a Dingle Dangle Scarecrow
with a flippy floppy hat
I can shake my hands like this
And shake my feet like that.
When the dogs were in their kennel
And the pigeon in their loft
Up jumped the scarecrow
And whispered very soft.
I’m a Dingle Dangle Scarecrow
with a flippy floppy hat
I can shake my hands like this
and shake my feet like that.
When the cows were in their meadow
And sun behind a cloud
Up jumped the scarecrow
And shouted very loud!
I’m a Dingle Dangle Scarecrow
with a flippy floppy hat
I can shake my hands like this
And shake my feet like that.

Elevator Song

Tune: Do Your Ears Hang Low
Oh, the city is great and the city is grand
There are lots of tall buildings
On a little piece of land
We live way up on the fifty-seventh floor
And this is what we do
When we go out the door!
Take the elevator up, take the elevator down (3 x)
Then we turn around!
